I don't get it. I keep on trying to be his friend but he just keeps on rejecting me. We were silent for most of the day but now it's become night so we have set up camp. I'm in my tent but I can't sleep. I'm just so confused. Why does he hate me? Doesn't he notice me? It seems like he hates me for no reason. I don't think i've ever done anything to hurt him but he acts like I have. Thats it. I'm going to force him to tell me in the morning. Whether he likes it or not.
I open my tent flaps and see lemon standing outside tending to a fire. It's just sunrise and I slowly remember what I promised to do. I walk over to the fire and immediatly say " Why do you hate me!" He looks at me and sighs. "Forget it." Fine. The hard way. I literally tackle him and say "Why don't you like me!" "Jesus! Calm down! I'm not going to tell you." " I'm not going to let you go until you tell me you jerk!" "Why should I?!" I feel like it's a stupid question. But I don't have an answer. I hop off of him and go back into my tent. I need to be alone. I have a reason now. I can't tell him though. Can I? My thoughts are inturrupted by lemon. He opens my tent and says come on. We have to start moving if we want to make it in time. He starts to leave but I grab the back of his shirt. "You said you wanted a reason? I- I've liked you for a long time. I don't get why you haven't noticed!" I emmidiatly regret saying this but what's done is done. I hope to look at him and get a look of acceptance but instead I get a look of anger. "So fucking humiliating me infront of my entire family is how you show your love!?" "Wait what? What are you talking about?" "Back at my tenth birthday party, you ruined me!" "Oh! Wait, I'm so sorry, I thought you laughed that off!" "No, I didn't." I hug him, half expecting to be pushed away but I'm not. "I'm so sorry, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you I will." "It's okay. All I want is for us to come out of this without getting hurt."
Now if you're a kiddie the story ends here. But if you are prepped and ready for a possible feel train than strap in.
